product sorting

[gene]

I wanted to add a page that will show all new products added to my website. Since shopsite sort it according to the order it was posted, can I sort those products in a descending manner so that the new products will be shown on top of the page?

There is no sort that will automatically put the products in reverse order from what they were entered in the database. Also If you add or delete products it would mess up the sorting by product record number.

Some merchants add hidden text to the product name by including it in an html comment tag and have a numeric value in the filed and then sort based on name so the one with the lowest or highest number would be first.

I.E. <! 00001> product name
<! 0002> product name2
<! 00...> product name...
etc.

Others use one of the custom product fields to contain a value to use when sorting.
